Amber Matusky has been supporting families through birth and the transition into parenthood as a birth and postpartum doula since 2006. She is a solo parent to two amazing kids, 13 years apart. She began sleep consulting earlier this year as a way to further support her clients long term, as well as a means to realize her dreams of being more present for her kids. One day Amber wishes to move abroad, and she believes that her ability to support families virtually is going to be what allows her to make this move for her family one day! Amber finds peace in nature. You can find her in the garden growing vegetables, in the kitchen preserving the bounty or on the water paddle boarding in her free time!
On this episode of the Becoming a Sleep Consultant Podcast Amber shares what it looks like to support her clients as they work towards independent sleep habits for their children while she continues to bedshare in her own home.
Amber shares:
- How bedsharing works for her and her child, but if there ever came a point where the arrangement no longer felt sustainable, she would simply make a change!
- That she certainly had doubts about supporting families to sleep in a way that was different from what her sleeping arrangements look like at home, but then she realized that as a doula she is very comfortable supporting births that look different from her birth experiences - and she loves that side of her work.
- How she plans to grow her sleep consulting business so that she can transition to full time virtual work!
